Caving 

Canyon Adventures organizes cave tours, which involve walking through caves, climbing small sections, with narrow passages to be faced by crawling or squeezing. The risks are therefore those of mountaineering and climbing activities in general, as well as those of the underground world. Canyon Adventures provides all the necessary technical equipment.

The duration of the caving excursions to the general public by Canyon Adventures ranges from 2 to 4 hours in the cave, with the travel of access paths of various steepness and exposure. 
In general, good physical condition is required and not to suffer from vertigo or claustrophobia. Furthermore, there may be limitations for very robust people, due to the narrow passages.

The following personal equipment is provided by the organization for cave excursions:

  • harness
  • helmet
  • head light
  • protections

Each participant is required to bring the following personal items:

  • sports shoes
  • comfortable clothes that can get dirty (we recommend long trousers).
  • sweatshirt or light windbreaker (the temperature in the cave is around 15 degrees)
  • water bottle
  • spare clothes
  • plastic bag for storing wet clothes

Risk policy for potential dangerous sport activity

It is compulsory for every participant to use the complete equipment provided by the organization during the whole length of the tour. Every participant must follow the instructions given by the guides, avoiding any personal initiative and cooperating when requested. The guides are entitled to postpone, suspend or change the excursions in case of bad weather or any other situation threatening the safety of the participants. The guides are also free to decide about any participants’ fitness. During the transfer in the Canyon Adventures’ coaches you must fasten your seat-belts. Canyon Adventures won’t be held responsible for fines. Both approach and descent in the cave are done by every participant independently under his own control and responsibility.
